Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 366-368 San Carlos Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Geoff Donaldson, has undergone extensive renovations and faced several regulatory challenges since 2020. Built in 1900, this two-story flats and duplex building has seen major improvements including foundation work, water damage repairs, and comprehensive interior remodeling of both units. The renovation project, which began in 2020, included bathroom and kitchen remodels, window replacements, and electrical upgrades, with costs exceeding $500,000. However, the work has triggered multiple building complaints and violations, particularly concerning unpermitted structural changes and safety concerns. Active complaints (as of 2024) involve unauthorized construction work, including excavation affecting disabled access, and safety hazards related to scaffolding blocking fire escape routes. There have also been recurring issues with construction noise, sidewalk obstruction, and work being conducted outside permitted hours, leading to multiple 311 calls and parking enforcement actions.

The building underwent substantial improvements through various permits between 2020-2023, including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels, plumbing system upgrades, and the installation of new heating systems. Despite these renovations, the property remains under active scrutiny due to unresolved building violations from 2019 regarding unauthorized structural modifications. Recent complaints (2023-2025) have focused on construction techniques, safety concerns, and unauthorized work, with several complaints still marked as active. The property has historical significance as evidenced by a Mills Act Review for Priority Consideration related to its Victorian facade, though this may conflict with current building practices. The most recent tenant buyouts were recorded in 2018, affecting two tenants, suggesting units may have been partially or fully occupied during recent renovation work.

Risk rating

How 366-368 San Carlos St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
